“Undersecretary Pina Castiello he must not remain in his place for a single minute longer and the Government must distance itself from those who have offended the memory of many victims of fascism precisely in the hours in which Republic Day was being celebrated. The Northern League undersecretary claimed responsibility for the choice to cut the cake with the Tithe symbol from her social networks as seen in the video.

Pina Castiello’s reply after the cake video
Pina Castiello, taken by LaPresse, he then gave his version of events, speaking of “episode jovial“:
“The attempt by former senator Sandro Ruotolo to cling to a fun episode, occurred on the sidelines of an electoral demonstration, and to elevate it to the queen’s proof dangerous nostalgias, it’s really a awkward exercise And clumsy. Ruotolo knows well that my personal and political history is outlined by a profound respect for the democratic values enshrined in the Constitution. If you are looking for those who nostalgically use methods from Soviet regime to limit the freedoms of others, he would do well to exercise scrupulous self-criticism and he will see that, by questioning his conscience, he will find many things to be forgiven for. However, I fear that Ruotolo made the effort to throw her into trouble with the sole objective of reporting her application of which, fortunately, no one noticedneither in Naples nor in the entire southern district”.
